Our core team is based on near Washington DC. We have been creating maps since 1995, starting with orienteering maps and then expanding to maps for other adventure sports. In 2002, we expanded to hiking and trail maps. In 2005, we published the first article on using LiDAR to create orienteering basemaps. Most recently, we have created "mini-maps" of public areas such as schools and malls. These maps are used for a variety of educational and recreational purposes.

We also maintain a site devoted to sharing links about the use of LiDAR for basemapping and orienteering. This site (LiDARbasemaps.org) is always changing, and if you know of great links to add (or correct) feel free to let us know
